We will march in the streets, issue policy statements, carry banners (and guns), and shout our protests, to prevent this from becoming politicized.

why look at how dedicated those gunners are… they even brought along their folding yard chairs for when their knees begin to buckle after standing for more than 15 minutes…

“My family, my friends, everybody down here is not happy about him coming,” Michelle Finn, a Umpqua alumna and Roseburg native, told the Oregonian. “He already says he’s going to politicize this — he’s already going to push his agenda.”

Local residents are also incensed the FDA is assuring safe prescription drugs, tormented about the FAA monitoring the safety of commercial air travel and thoroughly pissed off OSHA insists on a safe work environment down at the local plant.

I realize this State is my home, but I hang my head in shame.

What will the Secret Service do? I’m pretty sure this will not intimidate any of the Presidential detail or the President himself. Showing up with a fully loaded automatic weapon is not generally considered anything other that a threatening act and a show of intimidation. Protests are one thing. Locked and loaded by those not in law enforcement, as a President drives through your town…that’s something else entirely.

I’m sure when Hitler visited town the local residents didn’t greet him armed to the teeth.

Oh, sorry, goddamned Ben Carson has the joystick of my soul now…

“Polarizing as usual, Mr 0bama [sic] has insisted on politicizing the
event as a conduit for increased executive orders on gun control via
means of his pen, and his phone,”

Okay, I’ll bite. Please list all the gun control measures that Obama has signed into law or enacted via executive order. Don’t worry, I’ll wait.

OH. MY. Guns more important than victims, their family and their friends who are currently going through H**L. I am at my personal saturation point for stupid today.

Hell, if cities have the ability to move peaceful protesters like those from OWS or those at a party convention to some caged or fenced area to sound off…I can’t see how this example doesn’t qualify for similar if not more serious treatment to protect the President.

Good idea! Move them to “Second Amendment Zones”!

And fence them in like the rats they are, so they can all shoot at each other instead of those in the general public.

Buts its Mission Accomplished because its being covered like its “A Big Deal”.
